General LC

Bowulf (aka Kent) is a 37-year-old network administrator in Des Moines who lost 211 pounds doing Atkins. His "How to Low Carb Atkins" videos are full of tips, recipes, advice and commentary about his own journey. He's very helpful and down-to-earth.

Dedicated to minimizing problems of obesity, diabetes & cardiovascular disease, the Nutrition and Metabolism Society believes that the therapeutic potential of low-carbohydrate diets is under-investigated and under-utilized. We at LCE agree! Their mission is to have the governing agencies eliminate the current dietary guidelines, acknowledge the scientific research supporting health through proper nutrition and fund further research in this area.

Wellsphere is a social networking site for fitness and health. While not all of the site focuses on Low Carb, this section does, and LCE is one of their featured LC sites!
